The Academy was renamed the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology (AAOMP) in 1995, when the formal name of the claim to fame changed from Oral Pathology to Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology. The American Board of Oral Pathology was affirmed by the American Dental Association in 1950, and turned into the ABOMP -American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology with regards to the formal name changes of the forte and of the supporting association.
